Grip lasers vs. on off activated lazers

Have done several searches and no results. Advantages vs. disadvantages of grip activated vs. on off tip of finger activated lasers. I have moved away from safeties (lever) on my carry guns. I want as little to have to remember to do in a potential gun fight.

I think you just answered your own question. If you like a laser on your carry gun then grip activated is definitely the way to go in my opinion. There is nothing to think about. No extra step involved. I've only got one carry gun that I keep a laser on and that's my LCP. It's a CT and has been on the little pistol for years with no issues, except battery replacement last year. I had a LC9 with a switch activated Lasermax and did not like it.

My thoughts are that if you are in darkness hold off pressing the button until ready to fire and you have a audible fix on the intruder light him up and fire then go dark. the laser marks you as well as the target, he might not be alone or he might still be moving.
I have had my ct laser grips since the 70's.

finding the switch on the other kinds of laser in the dark under stress might be a problem and if you draw return fire the excitement might rattle you enough to have trouble shutting it off so they can not follow it back to you.
